FDA Confirms Contamination!

The FDA confirms that they found salmonella in a single package of its peanut butter crackers produced by Kellogg Co. Now it’s time to do a full recall on every product made with peanut butter. But this won’t happen until more people get sick. I haven’t heard about any major recall as of yet. I could have missed it, but don’t think I did. I do know that Kellogg had already recalled 16 of their products because of the chance of salmonella contamination. But what I want to know is why hasn’t the FDA start forcing this crap of the shelves. I did read that stores to protect their customers are pulling, but not all of them. Anyway, as of today at least six people have died and almost 500 got sick. And I read that there are also close to 100 people in the hospital, some in serious condition. The real question is why didn’t the FDA pick up on this sooner? I know for a fact that the FDA has inspectors checking on food processing plants. It seems they could have dropped the ball on this one.
